      Idea
    </h3>
                        <p>The main purpose of this Apache Ant library is to provide the same
      level of support that Ant provides for CVS.  This means the
      tasks are wrappers on top of the command line client (read: you
      still need to install an svn client) and there is not much more
      than running the executable and creating some reports.</p>
                                <p>If you are looking for projects that aim at more, there are
      better alternatives, for example <a href="http://subclipse.tigris.org/svnant.html">Subclipse's Ant
      task</a> or <a href="http://tmate.org/svn/ant.html">JavaSVN</a>.</p>
